Why Russian cyberattacks are not war crimes but criminal
Our side continues to insist that Russian cyberattacks can be regarded as war crimes. I am not too bloodthirsty and supporting the softening of moral -The in the North Pole and, to avoid unnecessary suffering, to play chess, after which the losing party performs ritual suicide, and removed, and from that innocent population joyfully moves into the winner's hand. Battle of Gastings, but something tells me that even then such a world view had nothing to do with reality.
Yes, "Cyber" does not reach that number of deaths and destroy Wan as a "ordinary" war. But the very idea of winning the whole people and converting it to slavery is not only criminal, but also just crazy. Here this moment I would emphasize, and when in the future Russian hackers fall into the chipky paws of justice, they can be reminded of it within the limits of criminal law. Regardless of whether "coordinated" attacks or not (in fact - no).
In addition to coordination, there is a reaction - simply as a change in behavior to changed circumstances. With regard to the suffering of civilians from cyberattacks, they can be neglected, because sanctions in this regard are at all worse than cyberattacks, and from the transition from "McDonald's" to "Details," no one has already died yet. And in The Record notes that the data in Russia is hacking in Russia, and they are still waiting for their researcher (taken into the title).
Here I would like to point out that only a meager part of the data falls into the public and that the public is not a consumer (consumer) information, so the problem is not in the analysis, but rather in coordination, to turn the access obtained not to media (this is a minor task ), and on the economic and physical effect that takes time. But it seems that we are approaching at the moment when the Russians from "ordinary" to "unusual" feel it on their own skin.
